Handley Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2005

The reserve Pinot from Handley was a big hit last semester. This wine features sweet vanilla notes wrapped around supple cherry fruit – an extra silky texture. Winemaker Milla Handley. P&B in Philo 14.5% $23.49 at Bottle Barn Handley

Goldeneye Anderson Valley Migration Pinot Noir 2006

Heavy toasted oak galore in the summer of ’08 but by January ’09 the oak is integrating into the wine. This is a soft and ripe style of Pinot, with a sense of the warmth underlying its frame. P&B in Philo 14.5% $32 at Traverso’s Goldeneye
